What is it?
Acetylated oxidised starch is a modified starch produced from edible starch by first oxidising (e.g. with hypochlorite) then acetylating (with acetic anhydride); it combines the properties of both treatments. It has good cold-water swelling, stable viscosity, anti-staling behaviour and holds structure under acidic and heated conditions.

Why is it used?
- Provides stable thickening and gelling
- Improves freeze-thaw and heat stability
- Resists staling and extends shelf life
- Holds viscosity in low-pH acidic foods
- Stabiliser/emulsifier aid in sauces, canned and frozen foods
Common Foods
- Dressings and salad sauces
- Canned and frozen foods
- Soups and gravies
- Bakery premixes
- Confectionery and dairy products

In a nutshell
Acetylated oxidised starch is a dual-modified starch that is safe as a thickener/stabiliser within approved limits.
Consumer Advice
Acetylated oxidised starch is a dual-modified starch processed by oxidation and acetylation, giving stable viscosity and clear pastes. It is used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, baked goods, meat products, and dairy. It is safe within approved limits; it is normally made from plant starches such as corn or potato, and gluten-sensitive individuals should confirm the source when purchasing.
